Required Application Instructions

It is critical that applicants follow the instructions in
the Application Guide (SF 424
(R&R) Application Guide or PHS398
Application Guide, as appropriate) except where instructed to do otherwise (in this FOA or in a Notice from the NIH Guide for Grants and
Contracts). Conformance to all requirements (both in the
Application Guide and the FOA) is required and strictly enforced. Applicants
must read and follow all application instructions in the Application Guide as
well as any program-specific instructions noted in Section IV. When the program-specific
instructions deviate from those in the Application Guide, follow the
program-specific instructions. Applications that do not comply with
these instructions may be delayed or not accepted for review.

The National Center for Complementary and Alternative
Medicine (NCCAM) announces the availability of one-year administrative
supplements for NCCAM-funded grantees to stimulate collaborations for future research
on integrative approaches to pain and symptom management in Department of
Defense (DoD) or Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) populations. The proposed
activities must be within the scope of the peer-reviewed activities specified
within the NIH parent award.

Background

With U.S. military forces serving in Iraq and Afghanistan,
there have been approximately 2 million troops deployed and approximately 3
million deployments. As a result of these military operations, 202,281 cases of
traumatic brain injury (TBI) have been recorded between 2000-2010
(dcoe.health.mil); rates of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) vary,
typically ranging from 5% to 20% among previously deployed personnel not
seeking treatment with prevalence estimates higher in those seeking treatment (Ramchand,
2010); and high co-morbidity rates are reported among the following psychiatric
conditions: PTSD, TBI, substance use disorder (SUD), and Depression (Seal, et.
al., 2011). Furthermore, studies show nearly 50% of veterans report that they
experience pain on regular basis (Otis, et. al., 2009; Kerns, et. al., 2003)
and there is significant overlap between chronic pain, PTSD, and persistent
post-concussive symptoms (Lew, et. al., 2009).

The Office of The Army Surgeon General’s Pain Management
Task Force released their Final Report in May 2010, “Providing a Standardized
DoD and VHA Vision and Approach to Pain Management to Optimize the Care for
Warriors and their Families”, and have launched a Comprehensive Pain Management
Campaign Plan. One of the objectives specified in the final report is to
incorporate complementary and integrative therapeutic modalities into patient
centered plans of care. (http://www.amedd.army.mil/reports/Pain_Management_Task_Force.pdf)

The current health care needs of military personnel and
veterans and the substantial interest by veteran and military entities in
incorporating integrative approaches to pain and symptom management is an
opportunity to study utilization, mechanisms, efficacy, and effectiveness of
promising integrative approaches. The success of collaborative research is
often dependent upon the pairing of investigators with different backgrounds
and expertise. This program seeks to support interactions of this type
that will encourage future research on the use of integrative approaches for
symptom management in military or veteran health care settings or populations.
Applications that leverage existing relationships between academic institutions
and DoD or VA sites are highly encouraged. It is anticipated that these
administrative supplements will be successful in generating pilot data for new
joint investigator-initiated R21, R01 or P01 grant submissions to the NIH. We
are very

Examples of the types of research partnerships include but
are not limited to:

A Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) pain clinician or investigator
and an NCCAM-funded health services investigator

A Department of Defense (DoD) biomarker researcher and an
NCCCAM-funded complementary and integrative medicine investigator

A VA treatment outcomes investigator and an NCCAM-funded pain
researcher

Clinical care providers in DoD/VA settings and clinical or basic
research scientists funded by NCCAM

Research activities should involve a VA or DoD clinician or researcher
and an NCCAM-funded researcher with the goal of fostering collaborations for research
on integrative approaches to treatment and health in military or VA populations.
Examples of the types of research activities that could be proposed include but
are not limited to:

Extending planned analyses or the approach utilized in funded
research to a military or VA population via analysis of electronic medical
record data or secondary data analysis of existing datasets to specifically
look at use of integrative approaches and pain, daily functioning, or quality
of life assessment data that may be captured in the medical record or dataset.

Planning activities such as the development of methodology,
protocols, or preliminary data needed to enhance the research in a parent grant
by extending to a military or VA setting or population.

Enhancing the funded research by adding the use of PROMIS tools (http://www.nihpromis.org/) to other
measures being used to assess pain or sleep in the parent grant.

Enhancing funded studies of mechanisms of action of interventions
or studies funded for the development of biomarkers by collecting pilot data in
military personnel or veterans. Relevant biomarkers could assess changes in
the severity of symptoms or show the biological response to a given
intervention.

At the end of the activity, supported investigators will be
required to submit a brief (2-4 page) summary of the findings, relevant
publications, and future plans for the collaboration. Sharing of any
resource developed with these funds should also be described within the
summary. The summary would be part of the annual Progress Report and the Final
Report submitted for the supplement.

Section
II. Award Information

Funding Instrument

The funding instrument will be the same as the parent
award.

Application Types Allowed

Non-competing Administrative Supplements

Funds Available and Anticipated Number of Awards

The number of awards is contingent upon NIH
appropriations, and the submission of a sufficient number of meritorious
applications.

Award Budget

The funding mechanism being used to support this program,
administrative supplements, can be used to cover cost increases that are
associated with achieving certain new research objectives, as long as the
research objectives are within the original scope of the project, or the cost
increases are for unanticipated expenses within the original scope of the
project. Any cost increases need to result from making modifications to the
project that would increase or preserve the overall impact of the project
consistent with its originally approved objectives and purposes.

Applicants may request up to $50,000 in direct costs
[excluding consortium Facilities & Administrative (F&A) costs] for
the one-year duration of an administrative supplement under this
program. At least one investigator within the collaboration must be the
Program Director/Principal Investigator on an NCCAM supported grant. The maximum
direct cost request for an individual NIH grantee is $50,000.
Facilities and Administrative (F&A) costs will be paid at the full,
negotiated rate. Applicants should provide a detailed budget
justification for personnel costs, supplies, and other expenses. Salary
support for the PD/PI, co-investigators, and collaborators is not permitted
but can be requested for technicians, graduate students, postdoctoral
associates, and/or other research personnel. The purchase of
equipment is not allowed. In fiscal year 2012, the NCCAM plans to
commit up to $700,000 Total costs towards this administrative supplement
program, with 8-10 awards anticipated.

Award Project Period

The project and budget periods must be within the
currently approved project period for the existing parent award. To be eligible, the parent grant must have at least eighteen months of active funding
remaining at the time that the supplement application is submitted, and the
research proposed in the supplement must be accomplished within the currently
funded award period. The duration of each award is limited to one year.

NIH grants policies as
described in the NIH Grants
Policy Statementwill apply to the
applications submitted and awards made in response to this FOA.

may be requested by any or all of the PD/PIs (in accordance with the existing
leadership plan) and submitted by the awardee institution of the parent award. Do
not use this administrative supplement application to add, delete, or change
the PD/PIs listed on the parent award. Visit the Multiple Program
Director/Principal Investigator Policy in the SF424 (R&R) Application Guide
for more information.

Applicant organizations may submit more than one application,
provided that each is sufficiently distinct from any other administrative
supplement currently under consideration by the awarding NIH Institute or Center.
This program will support administrative supplements to Research Project (R01),
Clinical Trial Planning Grant Program (R34), Research Project Cooperative
Agreements (U01), Research Program Cooperative Agreements (U19), and Program
Project (P01) awards to NCCAM grantees. Parent awards must be actively
funded through NCCAM in order to be eligible. Grants that are in a
no-cost extension period will not be considered for support under this supplement
program. Only one supplement request may be submitted per PD/PI or parent
grant. Project Leaders who are not also PD/PI on P01 awards are not eligible to
apply for these supplements.

Since applications in response to this announcement will
only receive administrative review by the awarding Institute or Center, and
will not receive a peer review, the NIH policy on resubmissions will not apply.
However, applications not accepted by the Institute or Center for review, or
not funded by the Institute or Center, should not be submitted again without
either responding to any written concerns or contacting the awarding Institute
or Center for instructions first.

Applicant Instructions

Before submitting an application for a collaborative
administrative supplement, all grantees should communicate with the Program
Officer for their funded grant and the NCCAM Program contact for this
announcement to discuss the planned application. If you have an idea or
concept and need a collaborator, the program contact for this announcement will
have information about potential collaborators; VA or DoD investigators
currently working with VA or military populations and PIs of currently funded
NCCAM projects.

The collaborating investigator must have an independent
appointment with his or her own laboratory space and not be a postdoctoral
fellow or other research personnel within the laboratory of the NCCAM funded
Principal Investigator (PD/PI). Pairings of researchers in the field of complementary
and integrative approaches to health with clinical investigators in VA or DoD
settings is encouraged, but not required. The pairing of a senior with a
more junior investigator is also not required; investigators at all stages in
their careers are encouraged to participate.

The proposed studies must be within the scope of the
peer-reviewed activities specified on the parent award. The uniqueness and
interdisciplinary nature of the research activity should be highlighted, as
well as its relationship to the parent grant. Proposals should not be
designed to recover funds from review-recommended or administrative cuts to the
parent award, provide cost extensions to activities that failed to re-compete
in the peer review process, or change the parent grant from a single PD/PI to
Multiple PD/PI award.

Section
V. Application Review Information

1. Criteria

Administrative Supplements do not receive peer review. Instead,
the administrative criteria described below will be considered in the administrative
evaluation process.

The staff of the NIH awarding component will evaluate
requests for a supplement to determine its overall merit. The following general
criteria will be used:

Budget and Period of Support

NIH Staff will consider whether the budget and the
requested period of support are fully justified and reasonable in relation to
the proposed research.

Overall Impact

NIH staff will consider the ability of the proposed
supplement activities to increase or preserve the parent award’s overall impact
within the original scope of award:

Will the administrative supplement increase or preserve the
likelihood for the project to exert a sustained, powerful influence on the
research field(s) involved?

Potential to Promote Collaborations

NIH staff will consider the potential of the proposed
activities to promote collaboration and future NIH applications proposing
research on integrative approaches to symptom management in military or VA
populations.

Relevance to Parent Grant and Approach

NIH staff will consider the relevance of the proposed
activities to the parent grant. The degree to which the supplement application
proposes a refinement or improvement of theoretical concepts, approaches or
methodologies, instrumentation, or interventions will be considered. Adequate
progress of the parent grant appropriate to the current stage of the project
will be considered. NIH staff will consider if the proposed activities or
analyses are well-reasoned and appropriate to accomplish the goals of the
supplement within the timeframe proposed and if the expertise of the proposed
research team is appropriate.

Awards will be determined on the basis of overall impact, potential
to promote collaborations, relevance and appropriateness of approach, programmatic
relevance, and availability of funds. The added value of the activity to
the parent grant(s) and its realistic scope given the one year commitment will
also be taken into consideration.

In addition, each of the following criteria will be evaluated
as applicable for the proposed supplement.

Protections for Human Subjects:

For research that involves human subjects but does
not involve one of the six categories of research that are exempt under 45 CFR
Part 46, NIH staff will evaluate the justification for involvement of human
subjects and the proposed protections from research risk relating to their
participation according to the following five review criteria: 1) risk to
subjects, 2) adequacy of protection against risks, 3) potential benefits to the
subjects and others, 4) importance of the knowledge to be gained, and 5) data
and safety monitoring for clinical trials.

For research that involves human subjects and meets the criteria for one or
more of the six categories of research that are exempt under 45 CFR Part 46, NIH
staff will evaluate: 1) the justification for the exemption, 2) human subjects
involvement and characteristics, and 3) sources of materials. For additional
information on review of the Human Subjects section, please refer to the Human
Subjects Protection and Inclusion Guidelines.

Inclusion of Women, Minorities, and Children

When the proposed project involves clinical research,
NIH staff will evaluate the proposed plans for inclusion of minorities and
members of both genders, as well as the inclusion of children. For additional
information on review of the Inclusion section, please refer to the Human
Subjects Protection and Inclusion Guidelines.

Vertebrate Animals

NIH Staff will evaluate the involvement of live
vertebrate animals as part of the scientific assessment according to the
following five points: 1) proposed use of the animals, and species, strains,
ages, sex, and numbers to be used; 2) justifications for the use of animals and
for the appropriateness of the species and numbers proposed; 3) adequacy of
veterinary care; 4) procedures for limiting discomfort, distress, pain and
injury to that which is unavoidable in the conduct of scientifically sound
research including the use of analgesic, anesthetic, and tranquilizing drugs
and/or comfortable restraining devices; and 5) methods of euthanasia and reason
for selection if not consistent with the AVMA Guidelines on Euthanasia. For
additional information on review of the Vertebrate Animals section, please
refer to the Worksheet
for Review of the Vertebrate Animal Section.

Biohazards

NIH Staff will assess whether materials or procedures
proposed are potentially hazardous to research personnel and/or the
environment, and if needed, determine whether adequate protection is proposed.

2. Review and Selection Process

Administrative supplement requests will undergo an
administrative evaluation by NIH staff, but not a full peer review. Applications
submitted for this funding opportunity will be assigned to the awarding
component for the parent award and will be administratively evaluated using the
criteria shown above. All funding decisions are final and not subject to
appeal. The anticipated awards will be made no later than September, 2012.

3. Anticipated Announcement and Award Dates

Not Applicable.

Section VI. Award Administration Information

1. Award Notices

A formal notification in the form of a Notice of Award (NoA)
will be provided to the applicant organization for successful applications.
This may be as an NoA for the supplemental activities only; alternatively, it
may be as either a revision to the current year NoA or included as part of a
future year NoA. The NoA signed by the grants management officer is the
authorizing document and will be sent via email to the grantee’s business
official.

Awardees must comply with any funding restrictions described in Section IV.5. Funding Restrictions. Selection
of an application for award is not an authorization to begin performance. Any
costs incurred before receipt of the NoA are at the recipient's risk. These
costs may be reimbursed only to the extent considered allowable pre-award costs.

Any supplements to Cooperative Agreements will be subject to
the same Cooperative Agreement terms and conditions as the parent award.

3. Reporting

Reporting requirements will be specified in the terms and
conditions of award as applicable to the supplemental activities. In most non-competing
continuation applications, the progress report and budget for the supplement
must be included with, but clearly delineated from, the progress report and
budget for the parent award. The progress report must include information about
the activities supported by the supplement even if support for future years is
not requested. Continuation of support for the supplement activities in the
remaining years of the competitive segment of the grant will depend upon
satisfactory review by the NIH awarding component of progress for both the parent
award and the supplement project, the research proposed for the next budget
period, and the appropriateness of the proposed budget for the proposed effort.
This information is submitted with the PHS
Non-Competing Grant Progress Report, Form 2590, and financial statements as
required in the NIH
Grants Policy Statement.

Additionally, at the end of the supplement-supported
activities, supported investigators will be required to submit a brief (2-4
page) summary of the findings, relevant publications, and future plans for the
collaboration. Sharing of any resource developed with these funds should
also be described within the summary. The summary would be part of the annual
Progress Report and the Final Report submitted for the supplement.

The Federal Funding Accountability and Transparency Act of
2006 (Transparency Act), includes a requirement for awardees of Federal grants
to report information about first-tier subawards and executive compensation
under Federal assistance awards issued in FY2011 or later. All awardees of
applicable NIH grants and cooperative agreements are required to report to
the Federal Subaward Reporting System (FSRS) available at www.fsrs.gov on all subawards over $25,000. See theNIH
Grants Policy Statement for additional information on this reporting
requirement.
